Present for 7 year old ‘ gamer’

My child is going to a party and the mum has said the kid is a ‘ gamer’ so a present linked to that would be appreciated. I have no idea what to buy. Budget about £10. Any ideas? Thanks

A ball, a mini skateboard, a puzzle, a book... Basically something related to Minecraft/Roblox/Fortnite or whatever shit the kid is allowed to play. Something that is an activity that isn't encouraging them to sit inside playing crappy video games.

But definitely not robux or similar.

No way in this planet would I encourage a 7 year old to be sat staring at a screen "gaming".

Smyths toys do a good Mario water bottle for £10

You can get Minecraft books in budget bookshops - probably get a couple for £10, it's a bit more suitable for a 7 year old.

I'm also surprised at a 7 year old being a gamer.

Anything that encourages the kid to do something other than gaming.

Thanks so much. I am also baffled about the gaming but I made the error of asking what he might like 🤦‍♀️
